Renewing head gasket. What else should I do?

I'm renewing the head gasket on my 1993 605, driven 190000 km. It's got a XU10J2Z engine. (2 litre injection). The cam belt is overdue, so it will also be replaced. I'm also thinking about renewing the water pump, as it is the original, and a Peugeot mechanic suggested is some time ago.

What else should I check/renew while I'm at it?

Hi,

Sounds right, belt, water pump & tensionners.

In addition to what G T recommends, you should also renew the cam- and crankshaft oil seals.

Hi,

Oooops, I forgot to mention, also change the accessories' belt at the same time. Tiny cost, so you just open the bonnet once for all. I use to change the acc. belt with the timing belt, although not absolutely necessary, mine was a bit cracked when I did mine (last year), it was 5 years old (like the belt, of course).

HTH, G.T
